A case of bacteremia due to high-level-vancomycin- (MIC = 64 micrograms/ml) and high-level-teicoplanin- (MIC = 32 micrograms/ml) resistant Enterococcus gallinarum is described. Both genes, van C1 and van A, respectively conferring natural low-level resistance and acquired high-level resistance to vancomycin, were found in the enterococcal genoma. The present is the first report of an E. gallinarum isolate showing the van A genotype in Argentina.
本文描述了一例由耐高浓度万古霉素（MIC = 64微克/毫升）和耐高浓度替考拉宁（MIC = 32微克/毫升）的鹑鸡肠球菌引起的菌血症病例。在该肠球菌基因组中发现了分别赋予对万古霉素天然低水平耐药性和获得性高水平耐药性的van C1和van A两个基因。这是阿根廷首次报道一株具有van A基因型的鹑鸡肠球菌分离株。
